Finding Where AI Fits

Workflow Mapping Impact Analysis Diagnostics
90 minutes All levels In person or virtual
Session Description

AI does not belong everywhere. It belongs in specific places, and this session helps you find them. We dig into your actual operations and surface the workflows where AI can do the most good.

The biggest mistake organizations make with AI is trying to boil the ocean. They hear about a new tool, imagine it transforming everything, and end up overwhelmed before anything gets off the ground. The smarter move is to start with a clear picture of how work actually moves through your organization and then ask a simple question: where are the bottlenecks, the repetitive tasks, and the pain points that AI is genuinely well suited to address?

That is exactly what this session delivers. Through hands on diagnostic exercises, your team will map your core workflows, score them against practical criteria like volume, data readiness, and mission impact, and build a prioritized list of the opportunities worth pursuing first. You will also learn to spot the workflows that look like good candidates on the surface but are better left to human judgment.

By the end of the session, you will have a visual opportunity map you can take back to your team: a prioritized guide showing where AI fits, what type of solution each opportunity calls for, and a recommended sequence for getting started. Think of it as the bridge between your AI strategy and real, on the ground execution.

What We Cover

Topics Covered in this Session

Each topic builds toward a complete opportunity map for your organization.
No jargon without context.

01
Workflow Mapping: Seeing Your Operations Clearly

Before you can find where AI fits, you need a clear picture of how work actually flows through your organization. We guide your team through a structured workflow mapping exercise that captures your key processes, the people involved, the tools you use, and the pain points that slow things down. This map becomes the foundation for everything that follows.

02
The AI Fit Diagnostic: Criteria That Matter

Not every workflow is a good candidate for AI. We introduce a diagnostic framework that evaluates each process against key criteria: task volume and repetitiveness, data availability and quality, current time and cost, error frequency, and strategic importance. You will score your workflows and start separating the strong candidates from the weak ones.

03
Impact vs. Feasibility: Prioritizing Opportunities

Once you know which workflows could benefit from AI, the question becomes where to start. We use a two dimensional prioritization matrix that plots each opportunity by its potential mission impact and its feasibility given your current resources. This exercise helps your team focus on the quick wins that build momentum while keeping an eye on the bigger transformations ahead.

04
Matching Tools to Tasks: What Kind of AI Do You Need?

Different workflows call for different AI approaches. We walk through the categories of AI tools available today: generative AI for content and communication, predictive models for data analysis, automation platforms for repetitive tasks, and conversational agents for stakeholder interactions. For each of your priority workflows, you will identify the type of AI solution that fits best.

05
Your Opportunity Map: From Analysis to Action

We close by assembling your work into a complete opportunity map: a visual, prioritized guide showing where AI fits in your organization, what tools are best suited for each opportunity, and a suggested sequence for implementation. This is a practical deliverable your team can take back and begin acting on immediately.
